Brad,
Front struts must be stock. Bp class.
Cannot get too low or will not have any shock travel.
How do you determine the ride height??
Position of A-arms?? If so, parallel to ground or at what angle?
Shock travel to stop dimension??
If fender lip - want size tires??
After the front is set do you adjust the rear for level or some amount of forward rake??

Ken, its best to ask the question without my name in the actual title. That way you will get several good answers. I have the numbers here at the house.. but I need to leave. Look for a reply later tonight.
The rake is determined by cornerweights.. not by looks. We set the ride heigth and adjust for the cornerweights.

I have a question regarding corner weight... what is it? How is this done & for what purpose.
I've heard it mentioned several times with hopes it would dawn on me or just be a common sence thing but no bright light has come on as yet

It's a pimp term. Corner weighting is putting more girls in a high traffic area.
I think on cars, it refers more to balancing actual weight with an ass in the seat, and 4 scales.

Oh yeah.. I forgot.
20 3/4 on both rears thru the centerline of the wheel from ground to the stock fender lip.
21 7/8 on the right front thru the centerline of the wheel from ground to the stock fender lip
21 3/4 on the left front thru the centerline of the wheel from ground to the stock fender lip
This will put the cornerweights very very close for you. I weigh 200lbs.. so it will be a tad different for you.
All this is with 3/4 take of gas and the driver in the seat with 205/50/15 Hoosier road race tires.
